Person:M Livingston (1)

Dr. Livingston got his Ph.D. with E. O. Lawrence at Univ. of Calif., Berkeley. His thesis was on electron accelerators. He and E. O. Lawrence invented the cyclotron, and Dr. Livingston was very upset when he did not share the Nobel prize with Lawrence. See Time magazine at the time, which said "What ever happened to Livingston?" - because he had built the cyclotron. He was Associate Director of the National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, IL, at the time he retired from the MIT faculty in 1970.

He married Lois Robinson while he was a graduate student at Berkeley in 1930. They had two children, a daughter, Diane, and a son, Stephen. They were divorced in 1949, and he married Margaret (Peggy) Hughes in 1952. After Peggy died in June 1959 he remarried Lois in Dec. 1959.

He died in Santa Fe on August 25, 1986
